How do you convert Newtons to Joules please?

Question

I probably should know this but I don't! So I'm asking for the simplest conversion mehod possible, preferable at A level standard or below. Thankyou! A slightly harassed student.

Answer 1

newton is the unit for force
joules is the unit for work done
by definition, work done = force X distance
so multiply newton by metre to get joules

Answer 2

Work = integral of Force over Distance so Joules = Newtons * Meters so Joules/Meter = Newton

Answer 4

1 newton = 1 joule/meter

Answer 5

A trick to remember is to consider what you are left with at the end of your problem.

IE: If you are looking for work done, what does the formula W=fd contains,

It contains a force or f expressed in kg*m/s^2(if you are left with kg*m/s^2 you are left with a newton)

multiplied by a distance (d) in meters (if you are left with m you are left with a distance in meters)

So if you are left with kg*m^2/s^2 you are left with joules.

Answer 6

If 1 joule of force acts on one meter distance, its one newton.please check this

Answer 7

You cannot convert Newtons to Joules - they measure different things. If you do not understand this you are WAY below A level standard.

Newtons are units of force.

Joules are units of energy.

Clearly, a force can do work and so can be related to energy. But so can many other things. This does not imply a conversion.

Answer 8

newtons arent for the same thing as joules.newtons are for force, joules are for work done, so you can't do a conversion.
anyway joules=newtons/meters
1joule*1meter=1newton

Aren't you a little young to remember Juice Newton? Oh, wait...
